Prior to that, Bethany completed an Advanced Diploma in Fine Art, majoring in Painting and Printmaking from Newcastle TAFE in 2004.
Bethany was born in Newcastle in 1984 and attributes her artistic development to the Steiner education her parents encouraged her to receive. She has had her textiles and prints exhibited at various galleries in Australia and has also designed cosmetic packaging and worked cohesively on a textile collection for Catherine Martin.
“My work is about capturing what I find beautiful in the world - I like to stop, look around and see what people are missing out on because they are too busy. I see the innocent and incorrupt way nature goes about its day and take all my inspiration from its natural beauty”.
Pauline Ollmann, Sales Director:
Pauline worked for 13 years for the British architect, Lord Norman Foster, in his London, Hong Kong and Frankfurt offices.
